What you need
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a strong backend foundation and proven production ownership
- Deep experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript on the server side (Node.js heavily preferred)
- Hands-on experience managing CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, cloud hosting (AWS), and monitoring/logging platforms
- Experience with GraphQL (schema design, query optimization, persisted queries) and RESTful API architectures
- Understanding of edge caching, CDN behavior, and cache invalidation strategies for high-traffic platforms
- Proficiency with automated test suites (unit, integration, end-to-end) to safeguard production reliability
Nice to have
- Familiarity with AI applications/agents, content management systems (CMS), or scaling localized data pipelines
Worth weighing
- Direct WordPress expertise is not required, as day-to-day WordPress development is handled by dedicated team specialists
- The role requires flexibility between backend code and infrastructure, which may not suit those preferring a narrow focus
- The job involves working with AI technologies, which may require continuous learning and adaptation
